In some kind of effort to not offend people, the restaurant famous for being just up at the next exit off the interstate, Cracker Barrel weighed in on the Phil Robertson controversy by deciding to pull store items off their shelves that featured photos of Phil's face. However, in their effort to not be offensive, many of their loyal customers were in fact offended by Cracker Barrel's actions and took to social media by storm.

The result of the backlash was that the company has decided to put any and all Phil Robertson and Duck Dynasty items they had removed, back on their shelves and write an apology letter as well.

Cracker Barrel is known as a family restaurant and would certainly more identify with the likes of Duck Dynasty fans than they would of the militant gay lobby. I think they probably made the right decision.

Read their apology letter below:

Dear Cracker Barrel Customer:

When we made the decision to remove and evaluate certain Duck Dynasty items, we offended many of our loyal customers. Our intent was to avoid offending, but that’s just what we’ve done.

You told us we made a mistake. And, you weren’t shy about it. You wrote, you called and you took to social media to express your thoughts and feelings. You flat out told us we were wrong.

We listened.

Today, we are putting all our Duck Dynasty products back in our stores.

And, we apologize for offending you.

We respect all individuals right to express their beliefs. We certainly did not mean to have anyone think different.

We sincerely hope you will continue to be part of our Cracker Barrel family.

Shallow, and they only apologized because they knew they would lose big bucks. Continue to Boycott these phony Liberal, tree-hugging Losers. Hypocrites and 2-Faced traitors to American Values. Why should we forgive these phonys and let them off the hook for blasphamizing Christianity and discriminating against Christians? They knew EXACTLY what they were doing.

Cracker Barrel made the corporate decision to drop the product due to hyper sensitivity to an issue that has nothing to do with them. This is not an individual, this is a corporation. Therefore there is ‘noone’ to forgive. It isn’t like your friend made a mistake and then changed behavior and asked forgiveness, this is a $ making corporation, and they have proven to me that they are heartless and feel themselves above the law.
They made a decision at their highest levels to not support free speech and a persons right to express an opinion.
My decision comes down to “do I put aside my morals” and continue to purchase product from them, or do I stand up, make a moral decision and never go into another CB.

i am glad you put it back on the shelf every one has a right to thier opinion and he spoke his. maybe we all don’t the gays but they are in this world as you and i and we need to treat them as we would want to be treated that is thier life not ours as they don’t get into ours.

I know who Cracker Bartel sided with immediately when GLAAD spoke out against Phil Robertson. It was not to til their decision to take down Duck Dynasty’s merchandise affected them financially did they start “back stepping”.
Don’t be fooled by CB’s apology. They are not trustworthy. Me, my family and friends will no longer patronize CB…………..

If you have noticed, the owner(s) or spokesman did not really state a honest reason of taking away DD from their stores. After the people stated they will not go to cb and the mass volume made their stand. C B then realized people will close down their business. I see a weak business company with out standing. I will not eat C B for a very long time, we have many fine restaurants in my area.

I find their apology hollow and seems to me their just throwing it out there to gain back customer support and their money. If we challenged by GLADD in the first place, and stepped back to see who their loyal customers were they would have never made that decision. For me it’s to late they have shown their true colors and their green! Also dumped Starbucks and back to DD since Christians offend them for their beliefs as well as not supporting our troops.

This is part of the problem, everybody is forgiving Cracker Barrel because they made an honest mistake by taking the DD off the shelf. But then they saw that they were wrong so they wrote an apology and put all the DD products back up.
People do you really believe they made a mistake and after, ONLY after people started saying that hey were going to boycott them did they claim it was a mistake. Screw Cracker Barrel and screw all you too, how stupid can you people really be? Oh, I forgive them now, I guess i will start eating there again because they owned up to their mistake.
The only reason they flipped flopped was because people said they were going to boycott them and they knew that they were going to lose a buck, each and everyone of you weak minded idiots that forgave cracker barrel are responsible for the way this country is now days. You make me sick!

We should be able to speak our stand on any matter, I don’t agree with same sex marriage,because Gods Words speaks of man and woman is the reationship in which God desired, but I don’t hate Gays at all God loced the sinner but nt the sin
